With heavy hearts we announce the passing of James Joseph Heelan Jr. on Monday, May 12, 2025. He passed away peacefully at the age of 85 after a short battle with metastic cancer. He was trying to stay strong and fight it with all he had, but the cancer had other plans. He is survived by his loving and devoted wife Ida of 53 years and his children and grandchildren, some with whom he spent his last days with lovingly at home. The love and devotion he had for Ida and his family is something extremely special and that love, his wisdom and strength we will all carry with us forever.
